Core 39 Courses

Foundation Skills

All first-time, degree seeking students must enroll in a course satisfying the First Year Experience requirement during their first semester at USI. This applies to both full-time and part-time students. This does not include dual credit or AP credit.

Embedded Experience

Embedded experiences may be courses found in other areas of Core 39, a major-specific course, or an elective course. Core 39 courses that count towards embedded experiences are marked with corresponding experience symbols.

Foundation courses are strongly encouraged to be completed before the embedded experiences.

There are two writing intensive experiences. One has to be at 200+ level and one has to be at 300+ level.

ENG 201 is a pre-requisite for all embedded writing intensive courses.
